Absolute Batman sucks tho because he's just a big oversized brute that is inconsistent with whether or not he wants to kill his enemies. I also find it hard to believe that he isn't rich but could still build a lot of the stuff he has.
@@doclouis4236 the reason he is able to build what he builds is because he’s a thief. He’s an engineer who mainly works on billionaire skyscrapers who’s projects never get done which gives him the ability to take whatever needs. He steals from the rich to save the poor. When has he been inconsistent with killing? Are you referencing the aquarium scene?
@@doclouis4236 Yeah. They survived that. If you go through all your superhero stuff talking about when people definitely should've died, you'll be talking till the end of time. Would they have survived in real life? Maybe not. But these aren't real life.
I know the title is here to grab views, and it worked, and I am here to say : no it doesn't, it's off to an awesome start, especially Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman.
HATE the clickbait title, but good video that clarifies the direction each individual story has taken to its heroes in their first issues. Lots of great potential and I'm glad to see you and the community agreeing on that point.
Nah man, it's great, until it's not, then is gonna be cool again, and then it's gonna suck, they're gonna rebrand and it's gonna suck again... That's life (in comics)
Absolute Batman: *appears* >The Only Thing They Fear Is You plays in the background Also, Alfred in this is just straight up Captain Price from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Absolute Superman is basically using Supergirl's origin. Supergirl was abut the same age as Absolute Superman is when she left Krypton. And she was raised on Krypton by her Kryptonian parents just like Absolute Superman is.
Except Supergirl grew up a Kryptonian of wealth and privilege as the daughter of prominent scientists. Absolute Kal-El is still raised by working class parents. Actually, his parents were screwed over and oppressed by the system giving this version of Superman a closer connection to his Golden Age roots as a champion of the oppressed. Plus, Supergirl's origin includes a family member to help her adjust to her new world. Absolute Superman is still alone. So they may share elements but their origins are not similar, in the same way Batman, Spider-Man and the Flash's dead parents origins are not the same.
The unapproved 'AF' moniker sounds like a reference to the edgy/gritty fan sequels to Dragon Ball after the initial series ended back in the early 2000's. The current writer and artist for the dragon ball manga started out with his very own AF manga too!
Out of the bunch, Absolute Superman is my favorite. I love how Darkseid created the social class structure to humiliate the House of El Crest. Yet still, they manage to persevere and wear it with honor. P. S. Kal-El is rocking that Moses drip from Prince of Egypt, and I'm here for it.
I'm disappointed that Batman's lack of wealth doesn't seem to change anything significantly. He's still got a very hight tech suit with lots of gear, lots of hideouts with computers, and a giant fortress of a Batmobile.
I don't know. I think it'll be a Spiderman situation where he has a limited amount of disposable tools. Hence why he defaults to his axe and cape as his main tools. We may see him struggle to maintain his suit, weapons, and vehicles as the run continues
I'd say it's still relatively low tech, and the chapters so far have shown batman is his utility belt like how he takes out the bad guys at the aquarium. It would be good for them to show him 'off guard' once or twice and see how he innovates though. Be real funny if it was a princess bride "wheelbarrow" situation, where something looks hopeless until he finds one innocuous item that lets him win the battle
I literally saw a guy complain saying absolute Batman is woke because Bruce looks like a trans man? The guy was so skinny I would believe he never seen muscles a day in his life
Ik who you're talking about & that was pretty funny. Some guy in the comments said his mom looked trans lmao. That's just peak brainrot. Also that is a racist so I wouldn't sweat it.
I think my main complaint at the moment is that they don't feel like they've gone far enough with their conceits, especially absolute batman, but we'll see as they progress. Like, I don't really see how this is interesting as a "Batman but he's not rich' series if he's still able to have a batsuit infinitely more powerful than the basic one that normal bruce has, hundreds of safehouses/dens all over the city, advanced computer equipment, seemingly infinite custom made bullets and all this stuff. Like, I get that he made a lot of it himself, but at a certain point some of that stuff just has to be custom ordered for a lot more money than a civil engineer makes It's not a huge problem, I enjoy the giant action set pieces, but I do feel like the fact that they haven't addressed how he can afford some of this is just a bit disappointing. I would've taken a throwaway line about him getting a bunch of mini batarangs for free because there was a factory error where they were trying to make some circular thing and it malfunctioned and made bat shaped things instead or something equally silly like that, I just feel like there needs to be an explanation. Still, I am SUPER excited for Absolute Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter, they look and sound absolutely amazing
That was my thought as well, and I think it'll be really difficult to explain how he has a cape that seems to have some hell spawn like power. Are they going to reveal he's allied with some high up R/D supplier (if not Dr. Strange)? This Alfred could seemingly work as a MI6 Q type character, but obviously it's not him.
I don’t think that Absolute Batman’s outfit is more powerful than Normal Batman’s outfit. More versatile and more variety sure but powerful? I don’t know about that one.
It's not just about the money, it's about how seeing batman struggle with money and lackluster equipment is like, one of the only interesting aspects of a poor batman
@@jorgealbertohernandezgutie7696He’s not actually poor though, yea, compared to main Bruce, he is, but he has to spend money on this stuff to at least get the raw materials and he’s an engineer, he has to go to work, I work in a metal fabrication plant, it takes a considerable amount of time and manpower to fashion the stuff he’s using at the rate of which he’s using it, he doesn’t get the batarangs back, so he constantly has to make more, the explosive devices, the detonators, the giant f-ing Batmobile, no one man could do all that and consistently maintain it without a significant income And when exactly does he have time to actually go to work??? Between being Batman, being a detective, manufacturing equipment, making vehicles, going to the gym and hanging with his hoodlum friends playing poker, when the hell does he work???
@josephdent6825 but what could you do for Jonah that would be a meaningful change? Maybe he never got scarred? But I'm not sure that would change anything. I think you lose the essence of the character if he's not a Confederate that couldn't stand slavery, you wouldn't want to do something cheap like Jonah Hex but it's modern day. Especially when we already have Jinny Hex. Maybe if he was a slave during the civil war but then you just kind of have Django Unchained
NGL I think Absolute Batman is definitely the weakest link in the chain It’s not bad but so far doesn’t feel like it’s using the full potential of its premise you know? It doesn’t help a certain someone is teased once again and it seems he’s just going to be edgy and serious Absolute WW and Superman seem so much cooler to me and I can’t wait to see how the changes to their mythos shape them going Forward
Joker was put at the end of issue One because Scott knew that people were gonna ask where Joker at? Even he was conflicted on showing Joker earlier on. Joker also connects to Alfred’s story arc, so we’ll see the things, that he did through the eyes of Alfred. Scott also said that around 6-7 issue of Absolute Batman, Joker will be getting his own tie in comic and see how evil he is because in Scott’s own words “ He’s more evil than I’ve written him”! Also I found Absolute Superman to be the weakest one. Not because it’s bad! It’s good! But Absolute Batman/Wonder Woman were straight Gas!! I’ve seen people agree with me on that
@ I think Joker being requested is valid, I just dont understand why you need him to cameo at the start of issue one man Like it takes my focus away from Black Mask and the Party Animals who should be the villains of this initial arc. It’s like The Batman movie; no one needed Joker that soon
@@ItsButterBean1020 I mean they still are! Joker isn’t gonna be used until the next Arc. That’s plenty of time for Black Mask and the Party Animals to have their shine. It’s like The Dark Knight Returns! The Mutants had their time. Saw Joker in the background, Mutants are defeated, Joker’s time to shine now. It’s like that
Wow this sounds like a neat series. I’m curious to hear what else will come out of the absolute Comics collection. I’m glad they used Booster Gold as well. I like him a lot too. Batman turning his chest symbol into a weapon is amazing.
It’s a nice throwback to the Todd Mcfarlane era of slightly over the top edginess while still telling a compelling story. Absolute Superman is my fav of the 3 so far l
What I like the most is the potential of what other characters, like what we've seen with the Flash (wally without barry) or Green Lantern (GL without Oa?) What others could be? Green Arrow who never ended up on the island? Captain Marvel but Billy is an old man? Cyborg but the original self was died and his father remade his son from scratch?
Since sonic 3 comes out next month have you considered doing a sonic comics video like talking about the comic original heroes and villains or doing shadow the hedgehog s history in comics
I like the focus on mothers. With Bruce and Clark especially the mothers get ignored in favour of themes of father’s legacy. So much so that they look identical to Thomas wayne and Jor-El
Absolute Batman is probably my favorite out of this universe mostly because it’s the story that I can get into, absolute Superman on the other hand it’s going to take some time to get used to in my opinion, absolute Wonder Woman I am intrigued on how this story is going to go with Wonder Woman which could be cool but we shall see in the long run how it plays out as a whole in the future but that’s just my opinion.
I really hope this doesn’t tie into the main universe, I just want it to be its own series/universe, that can just be a bunch of long running series, without new versions and tie-ins and changes every second.
This is one of the rare few cases where I respect the use of clickbait, because even without prior knowledge. You end up finding out the answer, tis but a hook In case it gets changed later, title was "Does Absolute DC Suck?" I would answer that like many have, but I'd rather let the man himself do it
Also, it's odd Absolute Batman's defining trait is supposed to be that he's not rich, but there's been nothing about a lack of resources being any sort of problem.
Abs Batman goes nuts from issue 1 and stays in the “that’s so dumb, but that’s SO COOL” range. Abs Superman has me begging to see how he develops And Abs WW goes hard. I’ve loved her design since it was first revealed and seeing her in action has me dying for me.
So far I'm loving the Absolute Universe, Batman is definitely a fun read with his knowledge on gotham making sense. I like how Absolute Superman is a bit more grounded in trying to support disadvantageous communities and the fact that unlike a permanent solar battery he's like a phone that needs to be recharged. Meanwhile Wonder Woman is easily one of my favorite variants of her simply due to the design and the incorperation of magic for her character.
So far I’ve read the first issues of each of them and I think Absolute Wonder Woman was actually my favorite. I suppose I just enjoyed her relationship with Circe and the intrigue as to why the gods want to punish the Amazons. That said, I enjoyed the first issues of all 3 so I’ll probably continue reading each of them.
I was initially skeptical when I saw Batman's new design and I'm still not a huge fan of that logo that looks like somebody attempting to draw like Frank Miller with their eyes closed, but from everything I've heard about DC Absolute I am seriously tempted to get back into reading superhero comics again.
@bofawhatsbofa4593 yeah I feel like if I had to guess who absolute Batman is I'd look into boxers or military men before I looked into the big civil engineer. Sure his size narrows him down but not so much that it's easy to discern who he is.
@bofawhatsbofa4593 but you would a civil engineer? Wouldn't you want to investigate the less than 1% of military men just to be able to cross them off the suspect list? Again you can also cross reference the martial arts stuff with the boxers right? Like investigate the 7 foot tall boxers. Now remove any 7 foot tall boxer who isn't known to have any martial arts experience outside of boxing. now you have a small list of suspects to investigate. Of course you won't find Batman's true identity doing this but the point is it's a reasonable line of thinking to try and find his identity. Beyond that if there's an Etrigan the demon in the Absolute DC universe and if there's any official documentation of his existence I'd try to see if perhaps he is the absolute Batman before going to the civil engineer. Again it would be a dead end and Etrigan has yellow skin but if I don't already know that it's worth looking into.
Despite the quality of the books, what I wonder is of this will be a long lasting series or fizzle out like the Earth-One comics I love the Earth-One comics, Batman and Superman are interesting takes on the characters, which inspired a lot in "Man of Steel" and "The Batman" respectively and they are neat, although the gritty and realist take is very... 2010s? But what I like about this universe is honestly Wonder Woman and Green Latern. Grant Morrison's Wonder Woman is a giant celebration of Golden Age Wonder Woman and its weirdness, it is a great storyline! And Green Latern? It's so interesting, reframing the Green Latern story as a space horror Sci-Fi story! But that doesn't matter really, because this series just fizzled out and didn't go anywhere. So I am wondering if that's the same fate Absolute will face or not
Had this thought after i read Absolute Superman: Writers have been leaning into metaphors for immigration into his stories for a WHILE now. What if in this book, hes less of an immigrant, and actually more of a refugee, and Krypton didnt blow up literally, but blew into some sort of planetwide civil war.
I love your love for Booster Gold. he has been one of my favorites sense I met him in that one episode of Justice League unlimited. so now I must read All In. and check out the absolute books
I'm absolutely surprised you didn't go on to described Superman's suit and powers, which I think is one of the absolutely godawful Superman characterizations ever.
No, this has been an amazing series, so far, the changes to the characters make them feel like fresh takes on the characters instead of small changes, the people who don't like this series need to get over themselves and stop thinking that these are the main versions of the characters, just like with Spider-Man and Marvel in general with their What if? Line of comics that started decades and decades ago, not everything has to be in Canon, and some of the most fun storylines are the ones that take place in their own continuity, it doesn't have to be mainstream or able to adapt into a movie to make it a good series, get the muck out of your ears before we lose all fun with comic books in general.
Off topic but does anyone know the fantastic four book where Reed builds a Time Machine or something idk? I think they meet Jack Kirby too. It was like a really thick book and I thought it would a good introduction to comics but I’m not sure what it was called
While I like the new ultimate universe at marvel more than the absolute universe, I have enjoyed these books. Wonder woman in particular, I think, is the best of the three.
Hey, Drake, been subbed to the channel for a while now. While I don’t have time to watch the video yet, I’m just going off the title. I mean no offense or hostility when I say to stfu and that atleast Batman and WW are off to a good start. I’ll watch the entire video later today when I’m free and apologize if I’m taking what you say out of context. Love you man, congrats on the wedding, continue dropping bangers. Edit: I finally got time to watch the video; I was wrong. My bad, I apologize.
@@ComicDrake”I wanna apologize. I wasn’t familiar with your game.” -Shaq Video was great, just finished it now. I agreed with all your points, especially with WW. Already liked and showed a coworker who’s into comics as well. Hope to see you review the upcoming Flash comic in this universe. Once again, sorry if I came off to strong.
I don't know. I liked the first issues of Wonder Woman and Batman. Hated Superman not for the over the top message but it just didn't feel like Superman. And gave up on Batman when I saw the Batmobile. He is a working class guy, that has time to track all the crime, be one step ahead of everyone, manage to make all his tech, be able to turn an actual gun into a Bat beanbag shooter, and heads to the gym five hours a day to get those muscles? No thank you.
Absolute Batman has been very good so far!! Superman is interesting but I need more and the Wonder Woman one was a little too much backstory and not enough of Diana being a badass witch in present day, BUT I want to read more so I’d give the first 4 issues I’ve read a total of a 8.5/10
This sounds like an absolute good idea or spin on DC comics The beefy Batman is interesting. New Wonder woman design is amazing Superman in Dark Side World is interesting. I want to pick these up and keep an eye out
Its fine. We all know the nature of comics means only like 2 percent of what happens has even a tiny chance of sticking in the long run. I just like comics
Title feels a bit click-baity which I understand but very much not for me. Like this is the type of stuff I love comics for & ppl take it way too seriously.
Out of the three, I say that sadly Wonder Woman is the weakest of the 3 comics. That being said, all three are GREAT and I love the twist on each of Trinity’s characters and history. I have not been THIS excited for new comics in a super long time, and I can’t wait to see where each one goes, as well this world’s version of other heroes. Like, how does this affect the street level heroes? Or the Uber powerful ones outside of Superman? I’m a big Green Lantern fan so I’d love to see this world’s twist on Hal, the other Earth Lanterns, and the Core in general. If it hasn’t already been announced, I’d love to see what the change for them should be.
OK, a shotgun that shoots tiny batarangs is *SO* absurdly fucking stupid that it loops back around to brilliant.
I forever love that no matter the universe, even one created by the League’s greatest enemy, Bruce is always on brand.
Rule of cool, man
To answer the title
No. No elaboration needed
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Correction, yes it does
Yes, elaboration and nuance is definitely needed in order to make sure DC knows what we like and don’t ruin it

Absolute Batman is probably my favorite out of this universe mostly because it’s the story that I can get into, absolute Superman on the other hand it’s going to take some time to get used to in my opinion, absolute Wonder Woman I am intrigued on how this story is going to go with Wonder Woman which could be cool but we shall see in the long run how it plays out as a whole in the future but that’s just my opinion.
The batman who lifts 😂
I really hope this doesn’t tie into the main universe, I just want it to be its own series/universe, that can just be a bunch of long running series, without new versions and tie-ins and changes every second.
Absolute Batman is my favorite book in years. Fuck no
This is one of the rare few cases where I respect the use of clickbait, because even without prior knowledge. You end up finding out the answer, tis but a hook
In case it gets changed later, title was "Does Absolute DC Suck?" I would answer that like many have, but I'd rather let the man himself do it
Also, it's odd Absolute Batman's defining trait is supposed to be that he's not rich, but there's been nothing about a lack of resources being any sort of problem.
Personally, I say no because Absolute Batman is AWESOME
Can you explain why?
Batman is awesome
Everyone in the comments is saying it’s good but I just can’t get past that terrible design. It’s so goofy looking
@@zetenyvarga7428 Batman hit bad guy. *A lot.*
@@Dan_K_Meme It's easy to look past if you read the comic
8:38 I'll be making this my mantra for the foreseeable future.
All 3 of these are starting very very strong. It's a fresh take, and its great for new readers to start.
That’s an Absolute Microphone

Whoa, didn't expect to see my younger self in an ad read!
Oh hey, what are the odds? Thanks for the insight into cards!
@ComicDrake Happy to be of service!
@@ComicDrake Can you make a video about ranking metals in the marvel universe in terms of strength and durability?
@Vibranium_man No
@ComicDrake Ok. Thank you for responding.
Abs Batman goes nuts from issue 1 and stays in the “that’s so dumb, but that’s SO COOL” range.
Abs Superman has me begging to see how he develops
And Abs WW goes hard. I’ve loved her design since it was first revealed and seeing her in action has me dying for me.
This is how those reboots oughta be! Not throwing out the long-lasting continuity alongside it. Now if only the New 52 was smart enough to do that.
Absolutely... NOT!
Really looking forward to all these stories
So far I'm loving the Absolute Universe, Batman is definitely a fun read with his knowledge on gotham making sense. I like how Absolute Superman is a bit more grounded in trying to support disadvantageous communities and the fact that unlike a permanent solar battery he's like a phone that needs to be recharged. Meanwhile Wonder Woman is easily one of my favorite variants of her simply due to the design and the incorperation of magic for her character.
I love the ball microphone
I really love how the whole vibe of Absolute Batman is "Batman but he's metal af"
Snyder's Batman run is what got me into comics as well.
Personally I’d say it’s been off to a great start. I’m really excited to see where it goes
I’ll give it a try but part of the problem with DC(and industry at large) is the fact that these might end up cancelled and half complete on a year
I’ve only read Wonder Woman and Superman so far, (Not the hugest Synder fan and the design made me laugh). But of the two WW was a big winner for me
Absolute has been fantastic so far. Wonder womans design is so badass. My favorite since flashpoint
So far I’ve read the first issues of each of them and I think Absolute Wonder Woman was actually my favorite. I suppose I just enjoyed her relationship with Circe and the intrigue as to why the gods want to punish the Amazons. That said, I enjoyed the first issues of all 3 so I’ll probably continue reading each of them.
Absolute Comic Drake when?
I was initially skeptical when I saw Batman's new design and I'm still not a huge fan of that logo that looks like somebody attempting to draw like Frank Miller with their eyes closed, but from everything I've heard about DC Absolute I am seriously tempted to get back into reading superhero comics again.
I really don't get why so many people harp on the absolute Batman design. It's VERY similar to the grey and black Dark Knight Returns costume.
It’s more to do with the sheer size of the guy. It’s badly designed. Plus his size makes him easier to figure out who he is
@bofawhatsbofa4593 yeah I feel like if I had to guess who absolute Batman is I'd look into boxers or military men before I looked into the big civil engineer. Sure his size narrows him down but not so much that it's easy to discern who he is.
@ military men are out of the question. Less than 1% are that big. As for boxers, you wouldn’t see them doing his level of martial arts
@bofawhatsbofa4593 but you would a civil engineer? Wouldn't you want to investigate the less than 1% of military men just to be able to cross them off the suspect list? Again you can also cross reference the martial arts stuff with the boxers right? Like investigate the 7 foot tall boxers. Now remove any 7 foot tall boxer who isn't known to have any martial arts experience outside of boxing. now you have a small list of suspects to investigate. Of course you won't find Batman's true identity doing this but the point is it's a reasonable line of thinking to try and find his identity. Beyond that if there's an Etrigan the demon in the Absolute DC universe and if there's any official documentation of his existence I'd try to see if perhaps he is the absolute Batman before going to the civil engineer. Again it would be a dead end and Etrigan has yellow skin but if I don't already know that it's worth looking into.
Ah the Absolute microphone. A perfect choice for this topic
Despite the quality of the books, what I wonder is of this will be a long lasting series or fizzle out like the Earth-One comics
I love the Earth-One comics, Batman and Superman are interesting takes on the characters, which inspired a lot in "Man of Steel" and "The Batman" respectively and they are neat, although the gritty and realist take is very... 2010s? But what I like about this universe is honestly Wonder Woman and Green Latern.
Grant Morrison's Wonder Woman is a giant celebration of Golden Age Wonder Woman and its weirdness, it is a great storyline! And Green Latern? It's so interesting, reframing the Green Latern story as a space horror Sci-Fi story!
But that doesn't matter really, because this series just fizzled out and didn't go anywhere. So I am wondering if that's the same fate Absolute will face or not
Had this thought after i read Absolute Superman:
Writers have been leaning into metaphors for immigration into his stories for a WHILE now. What if in this book, hes less of an immigrant, and actually more of a refugee, and Krypton didnt blow up literally, but blew into some sort of planetwide civil war.
I haven't read any of them yet, but I will say this is the first comic in a while to make me interested in Batman.
Haven’t read Batman yet, but I have read Superman and Wonder Woman and they were both really good. Especially Wonder Woman, that book kicked ass.
I legitimately thought the mic was censored for some reason 😅
Seeing stuff leading up to this my outlook was bleak but damn, it’s actually turning out to be really fun.
I love your love for Booster Gold. he has been one of my favorites sense I met him in that one episode of Justice League unlimited. so now I must read All In. and check out the absolute books
It could certainly be more distinct from the modern Ultimate Universe, I’ll say that.
Batman's cape is clearly inspired by Spawn
I'm absolutely surprised you didn't go on to described Superman's suit and powers, which I think is one of the absolutely godawful Superman characterizations ever.
It is nice we getting interesting DC stuff as well as Marvel with these new runs.
No, this has been an amazing series, so far, the changes to the characters make them feel like fresh takes on the characters instead of small changes, the people who don't like this series need to get over themselves and stop thinking that these are the main versions of the characters, just like with Spider-Man and Marvel in general with their What if? Line of comics that started decades and decades ago, not everything has to be in Canon, and some of the most fun storylines are the ones that take place in their own continuity, it doesn't have to be mainstream or able to adapt into a movie to make it a good series, get the muck out of your ears before we lose all fun with comic books in general.
I was thinking of giving these books a try so im happy to hear this.
Love your content keep up the great work
Off topic but does anyone know the fantastic four book where Reed builds a Time Machine or something idk? I think they meet Jack Kirby too. It was like a really thick book and I thought it would a good introduction to comics but I’m not sure what it was called
Drake’s mic with the black circle - and this has to have been mentioned before (apologies) - looks like he is censoring something YT doesn’t like. 😂
I’m absolutely all in on the absolute universe just like how i wish i could be all in on absolute wonder woman
While I like the new ultimate universe at marvel more than the absolute universe, I have enjoyed these books. Wonder woman in particular, I think, is the best of the three.
I'm sorry, I can't pay attention to what's on screen when he's holding The Orb^tm
Lot of comments on this video are lacking some reading comprehension
Of the the ABSOLUTE titles, Wonder Woman is my favorite so far
Hey, Drake, been subbed to the channel for a while now. While I don’t have time to watch the video yet, I’m just going off the title. I mean no offense or hostility when I say to stfu and that atleast Batman and WW are off to a good start. I’ll watch the entire video later today when I’m free and apologize if I’m taking what you say out of context. Love you man, congrats on the wedding, continue dropping bangers.
Edit: I finally got time to watch the video; I was wrong. My bad, I apologize.
You could have easily just waited to comment once you had time to watch the video because this comment just leaves egg on your face.
You were that impatient to be a hater?
@@ComicDrake”I wanna apologize. I wasn’t familiar with your game.” -Shaq
Video was great, just finished it now. I agreed with all your points, especially with WW. Already liked and showed a coworker who’s into comics as well. Hope to see you review the upcoming Flash comic in this universe. Once again, sorry if I came off to strong.
THAT SHOTGUN IS A KEL TEC KSG
I don't know. I liked the first issues of Wonder Woman and Batman. Hated Superman not for the over the top message but it just didn't feel like Superman. And gave up on Batman when I saw the Batmobile. He is a working class guy, that has time to track all the crime, be one step ahead of everyone, manage to make all his tech, be able to turn an actual gun into a Bat beanbag shooter, and heads to the gym five hours a day to get those muscles? No thank you.
Are you reading the recent Ultimate Marvel universe
Absolute Batman has been very good so far!! Superman is interesting but I need more and the Wonder Woman one was a little too much backstory and not enough of Diana being a badass witch in present day, BUT I want to read more so I’d give the first 4 issues I’ve read a total of a 8.5/10
So far I've been loving these new books.
This sounds like an absolute good idea or spin on DC comics
The beefy Batman is interesting.
New Wonder woman design is amazing
Superman in Dark Side World is interesting.
I want to pick these up and keep an eye out
Anyone else thought he had a giant censor covering his mic
Its fine. We all know the nature of comics means only like 2 percent of what happens has even a tiny chance of sticking in the long run. I just like comics
Drake's microphone comes from the Absolute Universe
I was very confused by the title bc i didn't really heard bad things about it
Wait. If Diana was banned from saying Amazon, why did she say that as part of her introduction at the end?
Im assuming her "ban" is removed?
Circe was banned, not Diana.
Title feels a bit click-baity which I understand but very much not for me. Like this is the type of stuff I love comics for & ppl take it way too seriously.
Out of the three, I say that sadly Wonder Woman is the weakest of the 3 comics. That being said, all three are GREAT and I love the twist on each of Trinity’s characters and history. I have not been THIS excited for new comics in a super long time, and I can’t wait to see where each one goes, as well this world’s version of other heroes. Like, how does this affect the street level heroes? Or the Uber powerful ones outside of Superman? I’m a big Green Lantern fan so I’d love to see this world’s twist on Hal, the other Earth Lanterns, and the Core in general. If it hasn’t already been announced, I’d love to see what the change for them should be.
My jumping point for marvel was ultimate comics for DC it was new 52
Could you do a video on Marvel’s New Ultimate Universe in the future?
